Field of the Invention This invention relates to machines for making multiple copies of a document, and more particularly, to an improved copy printing machine.

2. Description of the Prior Art The presently available copying machines which are used in offices for making multiple copies of an original document, and especially office copy machines employing the principles of electrophotography, make a separate exposure of the original document for each copy to be produced. Those machines which employ papers coated with photoconductive material make each copy on paper coated with photoconductive material.

While the cost of the machine which makes copies on photoconductively coated paper are relatively inexpensive especially when compared with the cost of machines which use the principles of xerography, and which machines are extremely costly and complex, the coated copy paper is expensive. Also, because of the extra weight of the copy and its feel, it is not generally liked.

OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of this invention is to provide a duplicating machine which has the relative low cost construction of the coated paper duplicating machine while producing as output copy uncoated paper.

Yet another object of this invention is the provision of duplicating apparatus which combines the best features of electrophotographic copying and ink printing.

Still another object of the present invention is the provision of a novel and unique duplicating machine.

The novel features of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention will best be understood from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 4 shows an arrangement for controlling the number of times the various devices used in the embodiment of the invention are operated.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The machine to be described herein uses electrophotography for producing a printing master, which may be called an inverse lithographic master. As used herein, the term inverse lithography is defined as a printing process in which a water miscible ink is used and an oily substance is applied to keep the background clean of ink.

FIG. 1 represents a printing master of the type used in accordance with this invention. Effectively, the printing master comprises the usual photoconductive paper which has been treated in such a manner so that the photoconductive surface layer 12, is rendered oleophyllic and the images 14 which are made of pigment or toner deposited on the surface by the usual electrophotographic process to develop charge images are porous, absorb oil and can be inked. The images I4 are mirror images, which are necessary to make the image which is printed from it come out right side up.

A description of a reverse lithography printing master of a type suitable for use with this invention is described and claimed in an application for patent by this inventor and assigned to a common assignee. It is entitled Electrophotographic Printing Master for Inverse Lithography, filed Feb. 27, I970, Ser. No. 14,912. Briefly, a coating of a thin thermoplastic hydrocarbon such as a wax or polystyrene is applied to the photoconductive surface of the sheet which makes it oleophyllic. The toner image is applied in the usual manner. The oleophyllic background is coated with oil and rejects an aqueous ink. The porous toner image absorbs the oil and provides a surface to which the viscous aqueous ink adheres.

Referring now to FIG. 2, there may be seen an embodiment of this invention comprising a schematic representation of a machine which can utilize the printing master shown in FIG. I to print multiple copies.

By way of illustration, the embodiment of the invention is described as being built around a central drum 20. This is in order to make the overall size of the machine as compact as possible. However, this should not be construed as a limitation upon the invention since it will become apparent to those skilled in the art that it is possible to construct this machine spread out along a single plane or in two layers as is done with the present duplicating machines.

At the outset, a counter 22 is set by a control knob 24 to the desired number of copies. A start switch (shown in FIG. 4) is then actuated. This causes motor control circuit 26 to apply power to a motor 28. The motor rotates the drum 2t) and also rotates an impression cylinder 30, which has a plastic material covering 32, such as Teflon (tetrafluoroethylene). The im pression cylinder rolls against the periphery of the drum 20. The drum will make a number of revolutions corresponding to the count selected in the counter 22. As will be seen in FIG. 3, the counter is caused to increase its count by I for each revolution of the drum 20.

When the starting switch for the system, as shown in FIG. 4, is actuated, a paper drive motor 34 is caused to operate, thereby rotating a cylinder 36 in a direction to feed a sheet of photosensitive paper from a magazine .38 onto the surface of the drum 20. Such single sheet dispensing arrangements are well known in the art so will not be described in detail here. The single sheet is caused to adhere to the drum in well known fashion, either by having its leading edge forced under catch clips, which are placed at the outside of the sheet, or preferably by having a vacuum applied through openings in the drum periphery which cause the paper to adhere to the drum. These techniques also are well known and will not be described in detail. As the drum rotates, it passes the surface of the photosensitive paper under a charge applicator 40, which is actuated by circuitry, which will be described subsequently herein, to apply a charge to the photoconductive paper surface as it passes thereunder.

The object to be copied is placed upon a transparent glass plate 42 for example, and projecting optics 44, is actuated by circuitry which will be subsequently described herein, to project the image of the material placed on the glass plate 42, onto the photoconductive surface of the sheet as it is passed by the rotating drum past the projecting optics 44. The projecting optics, consisting of a light and lenses which can scan the copy placed on the glass plate 42 so that the scanned image is projected in synchronism with the rotating drum onto the photoconductive sheet. The projecting optics equipment is well known in the art and thus need not be described in detail herein.

As the drum continues to rotate, it passes the paper through a developing station, which, may effectively constitute a magnetic brush. A solenoid 46, is actuated, from circuitry shown in FIG. 4, to cause a tank 48, designated as a developer reservoir, to be pivoted about a pivot 50, whereby a roller 52, which is rollably mounted in the developer reservoir tank, is brought into proximity with the surface of the photoconductive sheet. The magnetic roller applies the toner picked up from the developer reservoir 48 to the charge image on the photosensitive surface whereby the charge image which was formed on the surface of the photoconductive sheet by operation of the charge applicator and projecting optics, is developed.

As the drum continues to rotate, it passes the photoconductive sheet with the toner image thereon past the usual dryer arrangement 54, which dries and fixes the toner image on the surface of the photoconductive sheet.

The drum continues to rotate and in doing so passes the imaged photoconductive sheet through a location at which inking occurs. This can be done either by applying an ink and oil mixture to the surface of the photoconductive sheet as shown in FIG. 2, or by first applying oil and then ink as shown in FIG. 2A. As shown in FIG. 2 the arrangement for applying the ink oil mixture comprises an ink and oil reservoir 56, which, at the proper time is caused to pivot by the operation of a solenoid 58 so that a roller 60, is brought in pressing contact with the surface of the photoconductive sheet. The roller 60 rolls in an ink and oil mixture and thus, this mixture is applied to the surface of the photoconductive sheet. The ink used in the ink and oil mixture may be parts by weight:

carbon black 27 40 percent Shellac solution in triethylene glycol 60 Triethylene glycol 5 Ethylene diamine (98-100 percent pure) -4 Castor Oil (U.S.P.) 2

The ink is mixed with oil, which can be, for example, 0.4 ml. of Magic 400. This is a kerosene fraction distilling between 398 F. and 435 F.

Since the surface of the photoconductive sheet has been treated to be oleophyllic, it rejects the aqueous ink and assumes a coating of oil. The toner image absorbs the oil and assumes a coating of the aqueous ink.

Referring to FIG. 2A, if it is desired to sequentially apply oil and then an aqueous ink, the oil is contained in a reservoir 57 from which there extends a roller 59. The reservoir is pivoted by a solenoid 61, which brings the roller at the proper time in contact with the surface of the photosensitive sheet, whereby oil is deposited on the oleophyllic background but not on the surface of the toner image. Thereafter, as the drum continues to rotate, the solenoid 63 is inactivated and pivots the reservoir 57 and roller 59 out of the way. The solenoid 63 is activated. This pivots ink reservoir 65 causing roller 67 to be pressed against the sheet surface to roll thereover and leave a coating of ink on, only the toner image. As the drum 20 rotates, when the sheet passes out from under the roller 67, the solenoid 63 is inactivated, pivoting the ink reservoir and roller out the way.

Referring back to FIG. 2, as the drum continues to rotate, it is moved to the location of the impression cylinder 30. However, at that time, a paper supply motor 62, is actuated by circuitry shown in FIG. 3, whereby it causes a roller 64, to rotate whereby a single sheet of ordinary paper is withdrawn from the paper magazine. This paper is guided so that its leading edge is aligned with the leading edge of the photoconductive sheet as it passes between the impression cylinder and the photoconductive sheet.

The reason that the impression cylinder is covered with an insulating plastic material surface is that, it has been found that as the plastic material rotates, it rubs against the sheet of paper, it develops a charge which has the effect of attracting the ink pigment onto the paper which is received from the plain paper magazine. As a result, the pressure of the plastic covered compression cylinder against the drum can be considerably reduced and yet an excellent print on the paper is provided. This has the benefit of reducing wear, reducing the friction resulting from two pressure cylinders abutting one another, and best of all, improving the quality of the resulting print. As the drum continues to rotate, it passes by a paper received tray 68, which receives the print which is peeled from the photoconductive sheet, by a finger 70, which not only separates this printed paper from the photoconductive sheet, but also helps to guide it into the paper receiving tray 68.

If a single copy is all that is required, then, the counter 22, at this stage has its count increased to the count of 1 whereby a solenoid 72 is actuated. This solenoid moves a finger, or peeler 74 against the drum surface whereby the photoconductive sheet is separated from the drum surface and is guided into a master receiving tray 76. If more than one copy is required, the solenoid 72 is not actuated.

If more than one copy of the printing master is required, as has been indicated by the count set into the counter 22, then the drum continues to rotate. When more than one copy is desired, on more than one rotation of the drum 20, the paper drive motor 34 is not actuated, neither is the charge applicator, or the projecting optics, or the solenoid 46, or the dryer 54. The drum rotates and carries with it the printing master past all of these locations and brings it to the location at which the roller 60 again is moved into contact with the surface of the printing master to again apply an ink and oil mixture. It should be noted that the solenoids 46 and 58, are rendered inoperative when the paper has passed the respective rollers 52 and 60, and thereby pivot the respective developer reservoir and ink/oil mixture reservoir back to positions where the respective rollers 52 and 60 are no longer pressed against the drum.

The drum continues to rotate and makes as many revolutions as are required to cause the counter to count up to the count selected indicative of the number of copies desired. For each revolution of the drum an additional copy is produced. When the counter attains its final count condition, it actuates the solenoid 72, which causes the finger 74 to remove the printing master from the drum surface and deposit it into the master receiving tray'76, and after a short delay, the motor control circuit is turned off thereby stopping the motor 287 The small delay is the interval required for the drum to rotate to a predetermined starting position and is accomplished by a time delay relay, as shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 3 shows an arrangement for controlling the timing of the operation of the various devices used with the invention, and shown in FIG. 2, such as the charge applicator, the solenoid which actuates the developer reservoir, etc. Here, the embodiment for controlling the timing simply comprises the shaft 82 which is coupled to be rotatable with the drum, and which has cam surfaces respectively 84, 86, 88 and 90, by way of illustration, which are disposed around the periphery of the shaft. The location and length of these cam surfaces is determined in accordance with the placement of the equipment which is to be actuated when the cam surface is sensed and the length of the cam surface is determined by the interval over which such actuation is to occur. For example, the counter 22 is to be actuated once per revolution of the drum. Therefore, cam surface 90 will contact the actuating rod 92 of a mechanically actuated switch 94 over a short interval once per revolution, to permit a pulse to be applied to the counter 22. The,

pulse may be developed by charging a capacitor 96 through a resistor 98 from a voltage source such as a battery 100.

The charge applicator 40 is actuated at the proper time and over the proper interval in response to cam operation of switch 102, which applies power from a power supply 112 when it is operated. The projecting optics is operated in response to operation of cam operated switch 104 whereby power from the power supply 112 is applied to the projection optics. The cam surfaces which cause switches 102 and 104 to operate are not seen in the drawing, but are substantially identical except for placement and length, of the cam surfaces 84 through 90 which are depicted.

A switch 103 is actuated by a cam surface (not shown) to enable power to be applied from the power source 112 to the paper drive motor 34.

A switch 106 is actuated by the cam surface 86 whereby power may be applied from the power supply 112 to the developer solenoid 46.

A switch 100 is actuated from cam surface 06 and thereby is enabled to apply power from the power supply 112 to the solenoid 50.

Paper supply motor 62 is actuated when cam operated switch 110 is actuated in response to cam surface 80 being sensed. It then can apply power from the power supply motor.

The drier 54 is actuated when switch 111 is actuated by a cam surface (not shown), in the manner to be further described in FIG. 4.

The foregoing arrangement for establishing the timing should be considered as exemplary and not by way of a limitation.

FIG. 3A shows the structure required to cause timely operation of the solenoids 61 and 63 if a successive application of oil and ink is desired as shown in FIG. 2A. Essentially the same structure is used. The shaft 02 carries two cam surfaces 03, 85 for the respective oil and ink application operations. The sensing finger of switch 07 is closed when cam surface 03 is sensed which operates switch 07 allowing it to apply power to the solenoid 61. The sensing finger of switch 09 operates switch 09 when cam surface 85 is sensed thus applying power to solenoid 63 over an interval determined by the length of the cam surface.

FIG. 4 is a schematic circuit arrangement of the logic which may be employed for insuring that certain pieces of the equipment surrounding the drum operate once for developing the photoconductive image and thereafter will not interfere with the printing of duplicates. The power supply for the entire apparatus is represented by the rectangle 112. The starting switch 114 is a momentary switch, which when operated applies current to a relay winding 116. Current flow through relay winding 116 causes its normally open contacts 110 to be closed. Thereby current is maintained applied to the winding 116 through the normally closed contacts 120 which are associated with a relay winding 122. Power is then applied to the motor control circuit. 26 and to all of the switches through the contact 1 10.

AND gates 124, 126, 120, 130 and 132 are used to apply power received from cam actuated switches to the equipment which is to be actuated only once. AND gates may be well known electronic arrangements or switch arrangements which are used wherein an output is desired to be provided only when all of the inputs to the AND gate are simultaneously present. The output of AND gate 124 is applied to the charge applicator 40 and energizes it only when an input is received from first count of counter 22 and an output from switch 102, shown in H0. 3. Since the counter remains in its zero count condition only until the drum has completed a single revolution, the charge applicator will be energized only during the first revolution and then only over the interval during which the switch 102 is actuated.

The paper drive motor 34 is operated in response to the output of AND gate 126 is operated in response to the timed output from switch 103 and when the counter 22 is in its zero count state. The projecting optics 44 is operated by the output of AND gate 130 while the counter 22 is in its zero count state and over the interval when switch 104 is actuated. The solenoid 46 is operated by the output of gate 128, which occurs while counter 22 is in its zero count state and over the interval during which switch 104 is operative. The dryer 54 is operated in response to an output from AND gate 132, which occurs when the counter 22 is in its zero state and while switch 111 provides an output.

When the counter 22 obtains the count selected by the counter selector 24, its output is applied to relay winding 122 to energize it. Relay 122 is a time delay relay. It will not operate the normally closed contacts 120 until an interval sufficient for the drum to complete its revolution has transpired. At that time nonnally closed contacts 120 will be opened whereby winding 116 is deenergized and normally closed con tacts 110 are opened removing power from the motor control system 126 and terminating the operation of the system.

The count attained by the counter is also applied to solenoid 72, causing it to operate, whereby the printing master is removed from the drum surface. Counter output is also used to reset counter 22 to its zero state. The system is thereby established in a condition to start printing on a fresh original.

There has accordingly been described and shown herein a novel and useful arrangement for directly producing a printing master from a photoconductive sheet, employing electrophotography, and thereafter inking the printing master and printing with it in the manner of reverse lithography, on plain paper.
